Many, especially members of the Nigerian Bar Association , however, disagreed with Lagos State High Court at the Stateholders’ Meeting on the High Court of Lagos Rules, 2018.
“Yes, there is the need for us to collect fees to generate revenue to the court but justice must not be purchased. When the masses cannot access justice because of the schedule of fees, society degenerates into anarchy,” Oloke said. “Ikeja Branch of NBA will not support these fees as it’s presented and our suggestion will be later presented in a memorandum to be sent to the House,’’ Oloke said.In his contribution, Mr Tope Alabi, a legal practitioner, said that the reviewed fees, if allowed, would affect dispensation of quality justice.
Responding, the Chief Registrar of High Court of Lagos State, Mrs Taiwo Olatokun, said that the new fees being introduced were not exorbitant.“These increment are not unreasonable, they are in line with the realities,’’ she said.
